West Ham UEFA Ban: The West Ham players might get a UEFA suspension for their actions after they dove into the crowd to shield their loved ones from hostile AZ Alkmaar supporters in UEFA Conference League game. Unless they can demonstrate that they acted under extraordinary circumstances, the four players in question—Declan Rice, Said Benrahma, Flynn Downes, and Michail Antonio—could all get suspensions from UEFA tournaments.

Following the Hammers’ 1-0 victory in the Netherlands on Thursday night, which guaranteed their spot in the Europa Conference League final, fighting broke out in the spectator area. Some West Ham players got engaged in the altercations out of concern that the fans’ fervour may reach their cherished ones in the stands.

Declan Rice, Said Benrahma, Flynn Downes, and Michail Antonio were seen in social media videos attempting to stop Alkmaar supporters from reaching their family. While the other three were seen physically fighting the criminals, Rice hurled a water bottle in their direction.
The governing body of European football has not yet responded to the controversy, and it is believed that it has no plans to do so until the Conference League final between West Ham and Fiorentina on 7 June in Prague. However, Rice and his teammates will need to convince a commission that their actions were justified under extraordinary circumstances.

UEFA will be eager to adhere to the standard disciplinary procedure, which will result in AZ Alkmaar being penalised for the behaviour of some of their supporters. In order to defend vulnerable spectators, the players get engaged with a few Hammers supporters.
West Ham supporters were easily charged by Alkmaar ultras after they managed to take down a temporary gate and get past security guards and stewards. The 87-year-old father of David Moyes was one of the spectators who fled in fear as the hooded thugs drew near. The host club is responsible for security, and Alkmaar likely will be told to play in a private setting after failing to protect the family and friends of the West Ham players.
